Westfield Shopping Centre – Europe’s largest mall – opens

From time to time we’ll offer some great London tips. So here we are with something that we’re sure you’ll appreciate: the Westfield Centre, Europe’s largest urban shopping mall has opened in West London. Shepherd’s Bush tube station, 43-Acre Mall consisting of 265 shops, featuring popular brands like Gap and Nike to the more classier shops like Prada and Chanel. It will also feature a 14-screen cinema, 50 restaurants, a gym, a spa and a library. The Westfield centre is expected to attract 25 million shoppers every year when it is fully completed however only 85 per cent of the stores are opening today as some are still not yet complete. In light of the current economic downturn, one of the store managers has said, “you wouldn’t choose this time, but we’ve been operating for 50 years and from time to time you open in a boom and from time to time you open in a recession. And we are planning for the long term.”

The centre was officially opened this morning by members on the board of the Westfield Group, the Australian company behind the mall alongside the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson.If you want to know more about the Westfield centre, here it’s the link!
